It was many and many a ago,
In a kingdom by the ,
That a maiden there lived whom may know
By the name of Lee;
And this maiden she lived no other thought
Than to love be loved by me.

I was child and she was a child,
this kingdom by the sea,
But loved with a love that was than love—
I and my Annabel —
With a love that the wingèd of Heaven
Coveted her and me.

this was the reason that, long ,
In this kingdom by the sea,
wind blew out of a cloud,
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that highborn kinsmen came
And bore her from me,
To shut her up a sepulchre
In this kingdom by sea.

The angels, not half so in Heaven,
Went envying her and —
Yes!—that was the reason (as all know,
In this kingdom by the )
That the wind came out of cloud by night,
Chilling and killing Annabel Lee.

But our love it stronger by far than the love
those who were older than we—
many far wiser than we—
And the angels in Heaven above
Nor demons down under the sea
Can dissever my soul from the soul
the beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the never beams, without bringing me dreams
the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the never rise, but I feel the eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
so, all the night-tide, I lie by the side
Of my darling—my —my life and my bride,
In her there by the sea—
In her by the sounding sea.
